For wine lovers seeking different flavors and grapes, Eastern Europe is somewhat of a final frontier. Master of Wine Caroline Gilby from the U.K. told of today’s viticultural scenario in this region.

“In Eastern Europe, the quality is as good as anywhere in the world from the top wine producers. It’s the last unexplored part of the wine world.”
